A stroke can strike in minutes — but the consequences can last a lifetime. For families from Ironwood to Sault Ste. Marie, one of the hardest realities to face is learning that the brain damage, paralysis, or loss of independence could have been prevented if medical professionals had acted when they should have.
For nearly five decades, Vincent Petrucelli, Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers (ACTL), has been the advocate families turn to when seconds of neglect cause years of suffering. Drawing on his leadership in the landmark Wisconsin Supreme Court case Ferdon ex rel. Petrucelli v. Wisconsin Patients Compensation Fund (2005 WI 125), which struck down malpractice-damage caps as unconstitutional, he approaches every case with constitutional seriousness and personal compassion.
How We Handle These Cases
We start by building a clear medical timeline — every symptom, phone call, ER note, and radiology scan. Working with neurologists and emergency-medicine experts, we examine whether:
- A doctor ignored classic stroke signs such as facial droop, arm weakness, or slurred speech.
- A CT or MRI was delayed or misread.
- Anticoagulation was never prescribed for a patient with atrial fibrillation.
- Surgical or anesthesia errors led to hypotension and brain injury.
Because Vincent Petrucelli has tried catastrophic-injury cases across both Michigan and Wisconsin, he understands how to translate medical complexity into a clear human story — one that juries believe and insurers respect.
